Oops, forgot to mention, totally scratch built. Should think about making a larger one for turbines, but where would I keep it?!?!?!

I have uploaded a number of pictures with comments of the building project on my Gallery, if anyone is interested.

Simply amazing. Speechless.

I have now some pictures of the autofeather propeller hub on my gallery.

The basic principle for the design is as follows:

1.    The propeller hub is connected to the engine shaft via a Claw Clutch which have approx. 35 degree slack.

2.    One part of the clutch holds a Crown Wheel and the other part holds the housing for the propeller blades
        and  one drive pinion for each propeller blade.

3.    When there is torque on the engine shaft, each propeller blade will rotate approx. 70 degree and when the
       torque disappear a small spring, just strong enough to overcome the friction will rotate the blades back to feather.

Hey Carl!

I have a question about how you made the fuselage.
I see you made a foam plug.
Then covered it with balsa soak in ammonia?
Then what?
You mentioned fiberglass?

Thanks, Ed

Hey Ed !

After the plug has been covered with 2.5mm (1/10 inch) balsa and dried for at least 24 hours, then the balsa shell
is carefully removed and covered inside with 2 layers of 163 grams fiberglass.

The shell is put back on the plug while the epoxy is hardening in order to avoid twisting.
( I put some kitchen film on the plug in order not to glue the shell to the plug.)

After making the other half of the fuselage, I glue the two half's together and put light filler in all the small cracks.
Then I sand the balsa to a smooth surface and cover it with 163 grams plus 50 grams fiberglass.

Now I have a very strong, lightweight and rigid fuselage, bulkheads is only nessesary in order to mount the wing and nose wheel.

I have also used this method for my 2.5 meter span Tucano turboprop and I can fully recommend it for one-off projects.

Best regards
Carl

Hello Rodger
I am so pleased to hear that you also have build a KingAir, it seams to be a 350, very nice.
The whole idea off putting my project on rcuniverse was, that hopefully somebody would be inspired to make a similar project.
I wish you the best off luck and if you have any questions please contact me.

Best regards

Aircraft is awesome! Love those engines, and the whole sound etc.

Can't get to the photo library, and not sure if that's because it's off line at certain times, if it's not available to certain countries, or what, all Iget is a 404 when I try to open it.

Would love to see a lot more details on those engines and the drives with a view to seeing it it's possible to make some here in Ireland

Keep up the good work

Steve

Carl,

Awesome build! You are a true craftsman. Can you tell us more about the aluminum castings for the landing gear?

Regards,
Tom
